Photo Shoots for Fun

Last week we went out and took photographs just for fun. This type of session is something we try and do at least once a month but we don't always seem to manage to find the time. We decided that March was going to be a development month and have lined up some models of different ages to help us out.

It was a really sunny, but very windy, day and there was a lot of hair flying over faces. It also started to get really cold. We still had lots of fun and I have arranged to shoot with the two girls again at the end of the month in Brighton. Thanks very much for helping me out.

Family Photo Shoot

You may have seen my earlier post about Chloe's 18th Birthday Party. After the party we were asked to do a family photo shoot with all members of one branch of the family. As many of the people involved in the photo shoot are not available during the day it was scheduled to take place in the evening. This is always more challenging because you don't have natural light to work with, but we took along some of our professional lighting equipment. The family were such fun to work with and really got into the spirit of the shoot. We are still processing most of the images but just wanted to put a few up here in the meantime. All comments welcome...

A very cute 2 year old

This week we went down to Brighton to do a portrait session with a very cute 2 year old (and her Mum & Dad). It seems that most of the babies & toddlers I have shot recently have all had a runny nose - and this one was no exception. I also found out that asking her to lie down was not a good idea because she thought she was going to bed. I will remember that for our next session! However, inbetween wiping her nose and a few tears we managing to get some great images. I've also included a few of her Mum & Dad as they were a big part of the day.

Shooting just for fun

Last weekend my daughter's friend came round and we went into the woods near our house to just have some fun with our cameras. What I love about Autumn/Winter - apart from all the gorgeous colours - is the fact that it is cold enough to wrap up in coats, gloves and hats. I was relegated to second shooter so that Faith could do most of the direction (with a little bit of guidance from me) and I think she did really well. Although she did let me do some direction of my own and these are a few of favourite shots from the day. All comments welcome...

Keeping it in the Family

I mentioned in an earlier post that Faith is planning to take Photography as one of her AS Courses next year. She wanted to start getting used to using a Digital SLR so she used our son, Max, as her "model". He is a hairdressing appentice, which explains the interesting hair! These are some of the shots that she liked. She will be taking some more shots of her friend this weekend and perhaps next time I can even get Faith to update the Blog.
